West Hollywood is a compact and walkable city positioned between Beverly Hills and Hollywood, surrounded by iconic hotspots in every direction. It’s a launchpad for experiencing greater Los Angeles - yet it’s also a destination in its own right, with a vibe entirely its own. From legendary music venues on the Sunset Strip to stylish rooftop pools, world-class dining, boutique shopping like nowhere else, a global epicentre for wellness, and one of the most inclusive LGBTQ+ neighbourhoods in the U.S., West Hollywood offers travellers a layered and memorable slice of Southern California life.
There’s never been a more exciting time to experience West Hollywood. From the return of cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, to the continually evolving wellness scene year-round, and the buzz building ahead of Awards Season, the city is alive with momentum. A wave of luxury hotel openings continues, with PUBLIC Hotel set to debut in late 2025 - bringing the total to 21 upscale properties; and with the announcements of its first-ever 3-star Michelin restaurant, Somni, alongside a surge of hot new culinary openings - West Hollywood firmly stands as a global destination where style, innovation, and creativity converge.
“West Hollywood isn’t just another city in LA - it’s a cultural powerhouse with a heartbeat and identity unlike anywhere else. It embodies creativity, inclusivity, and style. We’re excited to represent this iconic destination and help amplify its story and build upon strong relationships across Australia and New Zealand,” said Claire Mountaine.
